Reflection
Voicethread was very interesting to use at first I had difficulty with figuring out how to add my voice. I was also very scared to record my voice because I was scared it wouldn’t sound great with the story. After I figured out how to record my voice the assignment was very easy and didn’t take long at all. I would love to use this tool with my future students. I think this would be an awesome experience for them. There are many creative ways teachers can integrate technology into their classroom like voicethread.
